PostScript font families include plain, bold, italic and bold italic fonts. Some fonts families may
also have serif and sans serif fonts or fonts of different weights (line thickness). These fonts are
generally named by adding a style suffix to the base family name. Unfortunately, there is no
uniform method for naming fonts, since most fonts were named by their designers and many of
the names have historical significance.
